Our Retreats
Quilter’s Dream Weekend was started in 1991 with the mission to make this an affordable retreat with classes and extras not usually offered at most other retreats. Our returning guests and really fun atmosphere has made this retreat very successful with April retreat drawing about 100 guests and the October retreat about 70 guests.
**Now 4 days and 3 nights!!
In April we have wide variety of classes for beginners & experienced quilter’s. Our talented and dedicated teachers offer inspiration, tips helpful hints, strategies, and a fun leaning atmosphere. Classes are held only at the April Retreat and are all free. We charge only for the books, tools, or patterns required for that class, and usually at a discount from retail. There are sleeping quarters for 4 days and three nights, 6 meals, classes, and an open sew area all included. See the payment options tab for affordable retreat pricing.
In October, this is your chance to do your own thing! Start, finish, or change directions on a quilting project. There is plenty of room to lay out a quilt and get a new perspective, baste, or audition new ideas. Saturday night we have a $10 gift game, participation is optional, but it’s really a lot of fun.
Each retreat we try to have helpers for unloading & loading, massage therapist, scissor/knife sharpener, sewing machine tune up and espresso stand for your convenience. And of course we have a quilt shop – “Trains & Fabrics” from Tacoma. They bring in a ton of fabrics and quilting essential for you to take advantage of.
We are totally non-profit, and what you pay for these retreats, go right back into the retreats. We have raffles and fund raisers to help control the rising costs. Word of mouth and returning quilting friends have shown us how much these retreats are loved.
If you long for an affordable retreat with lots of fun, your search is over.
